A man was detained in Achinsk for beating a teenager with a shoe horn.

In Achinsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory, police officers detained a man suspected of beating a 13-year-old teenager. This was announced on April 16 by the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk.

"My colleagues from the Krasnoyarsk Territory have detained a man who injured a 13-year-old schoolboy," she wrote on the MACH platform.

According to the agency, the police received reports from the medical institution and from the victim's mother about his injuries. During the check, the district police established the identity of the suspect — he turned out to be a previously convicted local resident born in 1973.
